Happy Birthday Torchlight!

And the game is LIVE!

Key issues resolved, thanks for your patience!

Today is launch day, and we couldn't be more excited! We're also scrambling to get Torchlight up on our site - we had some issues with wrapping it for DRM (at this point we're going with Yummy but still, it's been a ride). Please believe us, we will have it up as soon as humanly possible today - some of us were here all night doing last minute fixes.

Also, given the issues we'd had, we aren't able to offer the demo today, and at this point it came down to just putting the game up or delaying it to provide the demo as well. We figured you'd rather just get right to the game! We will put the demo up in the next day or two, but in the meantime, you can demo Torchlight at our partner sites: Steam, Perfect World, GamersGate, Gameware, and WildTangent. Thanks for your patience and support, we're super psyched - and will announce when Torchlight is live on our site here and on Twitter.

You can use paypal or google checkout to pay for the game via www.torchlight.com. I've played a few minutes but I gotta say the game is great! If you don't have it yet please do youself a favor and get it!

 

Preorder Torchlight from Perfect World

Perfect World is sending emails out to people with the following note included:

Calling all players and enthusiasts who enjoy hack-and-slash, dungeon-crawling, loot dropping action-RPGs. Torchlight is here!

For less than the cost of a movie night for two (US$20!), you can own the full single-player version of Torchlight. This single-player version of Torchlight will give you a sneak peek into the expansive, action packed world that will be featured in our upcoming, free-to-play MMORPG based on this universe.

As gamers ourselves, we're very excited to be able to offer pre-orders for Torchlight, an action-RPG from the same talent that brought you Diablo I and Diablo II, Fate and Mythos. Many of us have already been playing Torchlight, both in and out of the office, and are excited about sharing it with you. It's addicting!

For more information or to purchase Torchlight for a chance to win a limited edition poster, visit us at: http://torchlight.perfectworld.com

Anyone who orders Torchlight from the Perfect World site before October 27, 2009 will be automatically entered to win a limited edition Torchlight poster signed by Runic Games' Max and Erich Schaefer.

Level Editor: A free, separate download

As Torchlight’s launch draws closer, we know many of you are chomping at the bit to not only play, but begin the modding with the Level Editor (note, we can’t call it the PrEditor: that’s apparently been copyrighted. The nerve! We’re hashing out official names now.)

We’re not bundling the tools with the game – the download would be laborious, especially for the folks who just want the game. So how do you get these wonderful toys? The tools will be available here on our site by the end of next week as a free, separate download. Once it’s on our site for free download, it will become available several other places, including www.runicgamefansite.com, which is also hosting a Mod database. As soon as it’s ready, you’ll know – we’ll post the news here, on Twitter, and in the forums.

Thanks everyone – just a few more days! We can’t wait!

Great news andit was something I was wondering about.

Torchlight available on STEAM starting Oct 27

Yeah...the title pretty much says it all. I'm a tad late in posting this, it was released yesterday.


For Immediate Release: Torchlight available on Steam beginning October 27th.

Steam users, rejoice! No more waiting for Torchlight: Runic Games Inc, developer of the Action-RPG Torchlight, is thrilled to announce their new agreement with Steam, allowing players to download Torchlight on the first day it’s available, October 27th.

Previously, and as formerly announced at PAX, Torchlight would be in limited release through the Official site www.torchlightgame.com and through Perfect World’s portal on October 27, with download capability on Steam only available 30 days later.

It’s important for us to make Torchlight as widely available as possible. Steam is an enormous outlet that many players use exclusively – we’re big fans ourselves – so we are really happy that it will be on Steam starting day one,” says CEO Max Schaefer.

Torchlight will be available for digital download on October 27th, through Steam and www.torchlightgame.com.


I'll still be getting it thru their official site to help them out with the funds they need to keep on living, but it sure is nice to have it through Steam.
